When considering companies that hire remote employees, the benefits of the Virtual I-9 Verification are immediately obvious. Virtual I-9 Verifications utilize E-Verify to quickly and effortlessly verify employment eligibility for New Hires, requiring no in-person meeting.
This is preferable, of course, to the old-fashioned way, which required businesses to inspect identification documents in person, meaning bringing remote employees into company HQ or outsourcing to a local representative.
Virtual I-9 Verifications are also preferable to current third-party Verification products, which rely on New Hires to find somebody to complete Section 2 in person. This is a burden on remote new hires, and a cumbersomely analogue way of doing business.
Virtual I-9 Verifications, on the other hand, virtually connect New Hires with a Verification Specialist through a secure platform where they complete Section 2 together.
The advantages of Virtual I-9 Verifications for companies with remote employees are obvious.
Distance Is Not the Only Reason to Outsource I-9 Verifications
But Virtual I-9 Verifications stand to benefit businesses with in-office employees as well.
First, businesses in industries with high turnover can bring efficiency to their HR teams and initiatives by outsourcing a cumbersome of their onboarding process to compliance experts.
Second, businesses can take a more proactive approach to compliance by bringing in a professional, limiting the company’s exposure to fines and other punitive action the federal government can take against violators.
Finally, an efficient onboarding process makes a positive first impression on New Hires, directly impacting their perception of the company and their likelihood to remain.
